Happy Hanukkah!
This image puts me in the mood for Hanukkah, reminding me of two of my favorite foods: fried potatoes and cranberries. This year Marty made fantastic cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving, and with Hanukkah coming so soon after, we still have plenty for his latkes, too! One of our family traditions is that I get eight gifts for the kids from Target—that break immediately. What are some of your family traditions?
Jessi Hagood
Jessi Hagood is my new intern, a talented photography student from Greensboro, NC. She's been making some shots of her own while we are working, and some of them are great! She made the photo above on one of our shoots at Mount Vernon. It's one shot I couldn't have captured, as it's literally from "behind the scenes." (Now that I see it, it makes me wonder how I avoided toppling off that bin!) To see more of Jessi's beautiful images from this day, please take a moment to visit her blog.
Mitsitam Cafe Cookbook
"'Mitsitam' means 'Let's eat!' in the Native language of the Delaware and Piscataway peoples," according the website of the amazing Mitsitam Cafe at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC. Last year I shot their beautful food for this newly released cookbook.
Anyone who has eaten in museum cafes (sometimes OK, sometimes really bad!), will be pleasantly surprised by the quality of food at Mitsitam Cafe. They have a remarkable concept and menu of indigeneous, regional Native American foods. All selections there are inspired by Native foodways, and many offerings are very authentic. The dish above is a Fiddlehead Fern Salad, featured on the cover.
YUM2 Food Photography Exhibit
"YUM 2 (Even Yummier)" is the second annual exhibit of DC-area professional food photographers' work being shown at The Art Institute of Washington. It's part of the huge FotoWeekDC event. I'm happy that I was asked to show again this year! Here are some selections of my work included in exhibit. I made the carrot photo for Millenium Restaurant in San Francisco, CA; and, the caviar shot was for Ridgewell's Catering in Washington, DC.

The materials were published on December 12 to coincide with the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Some of the changes to the Roman Missal will not affect the Spanish translation. However, Bishop Arthur Serratelli, chairman of the committee, said in an introductory letter that it wanted to offer materials in Spanish "to aid those responsible to present the changes in the English edition of the Roman Missal to Spanish speakers."
The entire English text of the Ordo Missae is presented on the web site "for study and formation only," a USCCB press release stated.
The text "will only be promulgated for use in the celebration of the Mass upon the approval of the full revised text of the Roman Missal, which can still take several years."
The Spanish-language supplementary materials include an overview of educational materials in development; responses to frequently asked questions; a collection of translated articles from past newsletters on the Roman Missal translation; tables highlighting changes in the texts; and links to other sources.
Specific questions are addressed in the materials, such as why the Latin phrase "pro multis" should be translated as "for many" and not "for all."
Translation of the Roman Missal into Spanish is also underway, and the USCCB plans to produce a Spanish-language text for use in U.S. dioceses.
Missal information, in English and Spanish, is available at the U.S. bishops' web site at

Opening day of Lionsgate film "The Hunger Games" at 4,137 theaters saw the seventh biggest midnight box office showing in history.
Boxofficeguru.com reported that the movie grossed $19.7 million on shows that began at 12:01 a.m. Friday morning. The revenue marked the best post-midnight total for a film that was a non-sequel.
The only movies that have drawn more on Fridays were three from the "Twilight" series and three from the "Harry Potter" franchise. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" is the current leader, having brought in $43.5M on a midnight showing in July 2011.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Hunger Games grossed $68.3 million at the box office on Friday -- the top figure ever for a non-sequel and the fifth highest total of all time. Helping the film's totals is its appeal to males as well as females. Males comprised 39 percent of its audience on Friday, while 61 percent in attendance were female.
Variety observes that early estimates see the film with a chance to earn over $140 million on its opening weekend. According to The Wall Street Journal, online ticket seller Fandango reported 3,500 sellouts for the movie, and it accounted for 97 percent of their sales on Friday.
CBS Philly reported that dozens of fans were lined up at the AMC in the Cherry Hill Mall to see "The Hunger Games" Thursday night. The majority were younger fans interested in how the books would translate into a PG-13 movie.
The top three movies in the U.S. for Friday look to be last week's leader "21 Jump Street" and "The Lorax."

Marcus Lemonis eyes a bid for Portillo's
Lake Forest's Marcus Lemonis, CEO and chairman of retailer Camping World and its parent company, said he is interested in purchasing Portillo's and that the investment bank Moelis & Co. would represent him in negotiations.
"I'm definitely going to be in the mix," Lemonis told the Chicago Tribune. "It's going to be a lot cheaper than the (L.A.) Clippers."
Lemonis has appeared on reality shows "Celebrity Apprentice" and "Secret Millionaire" and is currently starring in CNBC's "The Profit."
The Portillo Restaurant Group said earlier this week it is looking for a potential buyer for the Portillo's chain, which includes 38 fast casual restaurants selling hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches and other fare.
Lemonis said he would expect to pay a premium for the hot dog chain because it's "very profitable," well run and "fast-casual has kind of become en vogue again."
Fast casual chains sell food at slightly higher prices than fast food chains and typically make food to order. Chicago-based Potbelly went public in 2013. Other chains, such as Noodles & Co. and Zoe's Kitchen, are also now public. And Chipotle, which priced its 2006 IPO at $22 a share, now trades above $500 per share.
In 2013, sales at the Portillo's chain topped $300 million.
Portillo's stands out in the restaurant industry with sales of more than $8 million per location. That's far greater than much larger chains like Chipotle Mexican Grill and Panera Bread, which have average annual sales per location of about $2.3 million to $2.5 million.
Richard Portillo, the owner, expects any sale would be to a private equity group, and said that he has not personally talked to any just yet.
"It's possible it won't happen," Portillo said on Thursday. "If I don't get what I want, if I don't feel that the culture would be carried on, I don't have to sell. Business is good."
Portillo said that he owns a lot of the company's property, including 19 of the Portillo's restaurants in Illinois and both locations in Arizona. He also said that he owns both commissaries that supply ingredients such as meat and sauces to the restaurants.
Lemonis has investments in several food businesses in Illinois, New Jersey and Florida, including Rose's Café & Bakery in Evanston and Highland Park, Mr. Green Tea Ice Cream, the Key West Key Lime Pie Co., confectioner Sweet Pete's, and RawONE Foods, a maker of gluten-free and organic snacks.
He got involved in most of these businesses through "The Profit," in which he tries to turn around failing small businesses.
"Although I'm from Miami, this is my home. It's where I live," Lemonis said of Chicago. Portillo's, "It's an institution. And I'm pretty good at taking great brands and making them better."
On Thursday, Lemonis first tweeted his intentions regarding Portillos, writing "I'm gonna throw my name in the hat on this one. Who doesn't love this place?? The best beef sandwich."

"The Palace Gardens - 18th Century Wonderland" Top 5 Page for this destination Schwetzingen by Kathrin_E
Schwetzingen Travel Guide: 89 reviews and 418 photos
The palace in Schwetzingen was built as a summer and hunting palace for the Electors of the Pfalz in the 16th century and later enlarged. In the 18th century a huge park was added.
The central part, as shown in photo 1, is a geometrical garden with parterres and bosquets in the typical baroque style. The outer parts, however, are English landscape gardens with a large number of buildings and attractions.
Schwetzingen is a candidate for the status of UNESCO World Heritage. The administration of the palaces and gardens in Baden-Württemberg have just handed in their application. Let's see.
Official website of Schloss Schwetzingen
In the late 18th century the gardening fashion changed. The baroque principles were abandoned. Instead, gardens now resembled natural landscapes, although they were still carefully designed. Small buildings were placed among trees, meadows and lakes, romantic views created. The buildings are a collection of architectures from all over the world and all eras. You'll discover a mosque, an ancient Roman temple, a medieval castle ruin, a Chinese bridge, an aqueduct, Egyptian sphinxes and many many more. You'll find separate tips about many of them on my pages.
Take your time to explore the park and take in its many surprises. Minimum time: 1 hour for the tour of the palace plus 3 hours for the park.
While the palace and its gardens are the main attraction of Schwetzingen, the centre of the little town deserves a look, too. I'm sorting my tips about the town into "Off the beaten path tips" to separate them from those about the palace.

I enjoyed your page - looks like a place i would like to visit. The photos in your albums are great too
Hi Kathrin, thanks for your nice holiday wishes. I enjoyed reading your 18th Century Wonderland tips here on your Schwetzingen page. Thanks for your link to the Claque tip on my Pforzheim page; I have also just added a link back to your tip.
Fantastic page!!! Wonderful photos of the autumn colours in the park!
Excellent - genuine 5 star tips. Thanks for sharing. (Looks a lot different to when I was there!)
Oh, wonderful :-)) I've been to Schwetzingen many times with visitors and they loved it more than Heidelberg :-)) Haha, I never looked that close at the coat of arms, the pink buttons look like Smarties :-)

I decided to use my US Government Economic Stimulus check to pay for the lion's share of a new all-stainless Kahr MK9. I always like having a gun on hand that will hide in a front pocket, but don't want to go less than 9mm/38 SPCL. This model fits that criteria, plus it can (and will) be fitted with Crimson Trace lasergrips; Kahr's polymer frame guns cannot.
I checked out retail availability using the Gun Genie feature at Davidson gun distributor's Gallery of Guns website and found none in stock, so I signed up for their email alert to inform me when they took in some MK9's.
I felt like I was experiencing good karma when the government check arrived on the same day as Davidson's email that two MK9's had entered their distribution system, and rushed to pay a deposit online and arrange to have it shipped to the local gunstore of my choosing. Davidson's supplied a FedEx tracking no. which tells me the store received the gun on Thursday. I'm hoping to be able to pick it up later today.
My next door neighbor owns a revolver and belongs to the NRA, but has always turned down my invitations to go shooting at my club. He's heard good things about Kahr pistols and sounds excited to help me break it in, so I hope to make a regular shooter out of him.
Now I am having fun holster shopping. I'll want a pocket holster for most of the time I carry it, but need an open carry holster when I enter a restaurant (concealed carry is illegal in Virginia in establishments that serve alcohol). That'll probably be a paddle holster for quick on/off. 'might also get an IWB tuckable for when I wear a couple of my trousers that have tiny pockets.

Plant "Fats": A Simple Way to Lower CholesterolTaking a plant sterol-stanol supplement could be a quick and easy way to reduce high cholesterol
Taking a plant sterol-stanol supplement could be a quick and easy way to reduce high cholesterol, according to a study in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition. Plant sterols and stanols are naturally occurring fat-like molecules found in small amounts in foods like nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains.
How do they work?Plant sterols and stanols are structurally similar to cholesterol and have been studied extensively for their cholesterol-lowering ability. Plant sterols and stanols seem to lower cholesterol by competing with it for absorption and by increasing the amount of cholesterol that is eliminated from the body. Plant sterols and stanols appear to work best when eaten as part of a meal. For this reason, they're frequently added to cooking oils, margarine-type spreads, dairy products, orange juice, and salad dressings, as a convenient way to get them into the diet. But combining plant sterols and stanols with food means that these foods need to be eaten every day in order to reap the cholesterol-lowering benefits. Supp it upResearchers wanted to see if taking a plant sterol and stanol supplement might also help reduce cholesterol levels and triglyceride levels. For six weeks, 32 people with high cholesterol (average age 58 years) took 1.8 grams per day of a plant sterol-stanol supplement or placebo. At the end of that time, the groups were switched, so that the placebo group then received the sterol/stanol supplement and vice versa. After taking the plant sterol-stanol supplement, total cholesterol, LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and non-HDL cholesterol (total cholesterol minus the heart-healthy HDL cholesterol) were significantly lower compared with placebo. HDL ("good") cholesterol and triglycerides didn't differ between the two treatment periods. "The use of plant sterols and stanols in capsules or tablets offers a practical option compared to traditional food vehicles by virtue of being easily incorporated into a cholesterol-lowering regimen without altering the macronutrient distribution," says lead study author, Kevin Maki, of Provident Clinical Research, the company that manufactures the supplement. "This feature might increase compliance during long-term use compared with the types of dietary changes needed to incorporate plant sterol/stanol foods." Eat your way to lower cholesterolMore studies are needed to confirm these positive results. And if you want to beat high cholesterol the old fashioned way--by eating well and exercising regularly--remember to include plenty of these proven winners: Nuts: It's not easy for a food to earn the right to bear a health claim, but nuts have done it. As part of a healthy diet, many types of nuts (including walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, and pecans) may lower the risk of heart disease. So switch out the potato chips for a handful of nuts. Packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, nuts make a satisfying and nutritious snack that can lower your cholesterol, too. Oats: Diets that are high in soluble fiber from foods like oatmeal can help lower cholesterol. For added benefit, add some chopped apples or strawberries and a sprinkling of nuts. Olive oil: Olive oil may help lower LDL cholesterol levels and reduce heart disease risk. Be sure to choose extra-virgin olive oils. The less processed an oil is, the greater its anti-inflammatory action in the body.

Boot up Problem
Ok, so I tried installing another OS to a partition I made on my harddrive and it failed and then when I tried to reboot it came up with this error:
So I then used The Ultimate Boot CD and booted it up on my RAM and saw that my original half of the harddrive was still in perfect form. So I installed Linux, hoping to fix the booting problem. I successfully got Linux on the partition which originally failed, but now I get this boot screen option: Is there some way to correct my computers boot to either have the original boot where I can select either partition to boot from with EasyBCD or just deactivate Linux as long as the computer boots directly to my Windows 7 and I don't get the original error. haha, sorta a mouthful. thanks in advance! |

Hi and welcome to Seven Forums!
Use your Windows 7 DVD to boot up your PC, enter Repair and choose Command prompt. Type the following: bootrec /FixMbr and hit enter. Your PC will then boot directly into Windows 7. Hope this helps |

Firstly, you don't really have an issue there. If you select "Vista/LongHorn" from the Grub Boot Menu (2nd screenshot) then it will boot 7.
If you want to lose Linux, then you will need to do this. 1) Boot your PC and Select "Vista/Longhorn" from the Grub Menu. 2) Open Disk Management (Start>Right click Computer>Manage>Storage>Disk Management 3) Right click the Linux Partition (it will be the one that Windows can't read) 4) Click Format 5) Wait. 6) Reboot your PC with your Windows 7 Disk in the drive, or boot into your recovery partition if you have one. 7) Follow this tutorial: Startup Repair 8) Repeat Steps 6-7 until Windows finds no more problems. If you then want to reinstall Linux, and use Windows Boot Manager as your bootloader then follow the below. 9) On the final page of installation setup of Ubuntu, click "Advanced" at the bottom. 10) When it asks where to install Linux, select the partition that Linux is installed on NOT the entire Hard Drive. 11) Restart. At this point you will only be able to boot into Windows. 12) Open Disk Management again, and give the System Reserved partition (if you have one) a letter. If you don't have a System Reserved ignore this. 13) Open EasyBCD and select "Add New Entry" 14) Select the type as "Grub 2" from the drop down menu 15) Give it a name. 16) Click "Add Entry" 17) Reboot. Hopefully all should be working as it should if you follow these instructions to the letter |

A Chicago native, Halbreich moved to Manhattan at twenty after marrying the dashing Sonny Halbreich, a true character right out of Damon Runyon who liked the nightlife of New York in the fifties. On the surface, they were a great match, but looks can be deceiving; an unfaithful Sonny was emotionally distant while Halbreich became increasingly anguished. After two decades, the fraying marriage finally came undone. Bereft without Sonny and her identity as his wife, she hit rock bottom.
After she began the frightening process of reclaiming herself and started therapy, Halbreich was offered a lifeline in the form of a job at the legendary luxury store Bergdorf Goodman. Soon, she was asked to run the store's first personal shopping service. It was a perfect fit.
Meticulous, impeccable, hardworking, elegant, and—most of all—delightfully funny, Halbreich has never been afraid to tell it to her clients straight. She won't sell something just to sell it. If an outfit or shoe or purse is too expensive, she'll dissuade you from buying it. As Halbreich says, "There are two things nobody wants to face: their closet and their mirror." She helps women do both, every day.
Praise for I'll Drink to That:
"Lena Dunham, creator of HBO's Girls, is now developing a series inspired by Ms. Halbreich's life. The impatient, however, can satisfy their curiosity more immediately with I'll Drink to That, the long-anticipated memoir in which Ms. Halbreich chronicles her life in the dressing room and beyond." —The Wall Street Journal
"Charming… An inspirational feminist tale." —People Magazine
"Tart, funny." —Entertainment Weekly
"Sartorial style becomes a philosophy of life in this spirited memoir…Halbreich comes across as sage and gracious as she narrates a life full of incident, taking us inside the fashion industry and one of its great institutions." —Publishers Weekly
"Every woman has a piece of clothing that she can't live without, because in it, she feels most like herself. Betty's memoir has that effect on a reader. Authentic style is a form of self-knowledge. And in that respect, I'll Drink To That is like Betty's famous three-way mirror. She sizes up her own life fearlessly, and in the process, not only helps you to diagnose your own flaws, but to embrace your own beauty." —Judith Thurman, author of National Book Award-winning Isak Dinesen: The Life of a Storyteller and Los Angeles Times Book Award-winning Secrets of the Flesh: A Life of Colette
"Betty was born to sail through people's lives telling them what to wear (and even what to do). The other day I overheard her chatting with a client, 'Oh, she's been my friend for thirty-five years, and she's only thirty.' Lines like that are good enough for George Cukor. The whole scanrio is. Maybe she's known that all these years. Fashion is not only about necessity but also a form of entertainment—and that is what Betty sells." —Isaac Mizrahi, fashion designer
"I would trust this woman with my life—closet!" —Joan Rivers, television personality
"…she's the go-to celebrity. She's also the most fun." —Patricia Field, costume designer for Sex & the City
"There's a pragmatic principle behind the way Betty dresses people. It's very inclusive. There's room for everyone in her process. [Betty] is able to be in the fashion world, but also take it down a peg at the same time." —Lena Dunham, writer and actress
"The fashion doctor is in….Even as designers and editors seem to be conspiring to lure women into their latest whims, Betty Halbreich is a scrupulously practical truth-teller. She considers it her job to protect women from clothes that are wrong for them. She takes pride in pushing the least expensive items she can find, when it's appropriate…A brassy Chicago native with a manner that's part Angela Lansbury and part Lucille Ball, Halbreich believes in taking chances with color and accessorizing lavishly." —Bob Morris, New York magazine

After a two-year recording gap (the longest in their recording career up to that point), Led Zeppelin followed the rampant eclecticism of HOUSES OF THE HOLY with the embarrassment of riches that is PHYSICAL GRAFFITI. One could be forgiven for thinking of this expansive double-length set as Zeppelin's WHITE ALBUM. It's a great schizophrenic beast, the first side containing the most concentrated dose of pure hard-rock energy the band had delivered since their first two albums, and the second showing off the more subtle nuances of their talent. | |
This is really Jimmy Page's album, from the masterfully moody Eastern setting of "Kashmir" to the poignant liquidity of "Down by the Seaside" and the furious riffing of "Trampled Under Foot." The 1950s-style rocker "Boogie with Stu" (featuring Stones pianist Ian Stewart) and the rural romp "Bron-Yr-Aur" add yet more colors to the spectrum of what may be the most emotionally satisfying album in the Led Zeppelin canon. | |

Now, more than two years after the economic meltdown, the industry understands that prosperity is not around the corner. What many call the "New Normal," characterized by slower growth, tighter credit markets, a more conservative approach, less money available for investment, and tighter financial regulations, has become the new operating reality.
It doesn't have to be all doom and gloom, however. Even in the best-run organizations, there is an untapped source of cash from what I like to call "creating your own stimulus by buying items and services better." In many companies, the cost of purchased items and services (i.e., the money paid to suppliers) is equal to between 30–70% of total company revenue. In the pharmaceutical industry, this cost is typically between 30 and 50%. What I've come to understand is that regardless of how good or how bad a company is at buying products and services, there is still plenty of cash to extract from its costs. Three methods—spend segmentation, better specifications, and online reverse marketplaces—can improve results.
For example, if a company is making a purchase where the supplier maintains the power in the relationship (i.e., the "critical" quadrant), the buyer is paying an absolute premium. Typically, less than 10% of a company's spend will be designated as "critical," according to my experience. Companies with poor purchasing practices, however, often allow suppliers to act as if they were a natural monopoly. A purchaser should review its spending to move supplier relationships from the "critical" quadrant to "strategic" or better yet to "leverage" positions (see Figure 1). My experience suggests that on average, only 20% of spend is truly "strategic," and most of what is purchased can be highly leveraged among multiple suppliers.
Better specifications . Many factors determine how much to pay for a good or service. In simple terms, supply is what is available, and demand is how much is being requested. Consumption is how much is being used at what rate, and specification is what constitutes a product or service. The interactions of these variables are the main drivers of price paid.

I have had this colour for a couple of years now and i love it. I normally use it with smokey eyes and as a day wear lipstick. Its quite moisturising and if you have uneven lips you apply this as a base and then gloss over what colour you want to use.

I am an nc44. I think this is a really great nude because it does not look like concealer on my lips like alot of nudes do. It gives me the nude look with a bit of rosy warmth. I like this for a dark smoky eye or an everyday look with a dark crease.

After months of struggling with Fresh Brew's color, texture and staying power I decided to find a new everyday, nude MAC lipstick. I decided to try out Half-N-Half on a whim, and I discovered that I LOVE THIS LIPSTICK!!! It's the perfect opaque 'my lips but better' nude shade for me... BUT I have to pair it with MAC's Cork lip pencil, or else I'll have that ashy, 'powdered doughnut' look on my lips. I love to top this lip combo off with either Viva Glam V, Beaux or Liquer Lipglass. The color payoff on this shade is great, because it is an Amplified lipstick. The texture is quite creamy and it does not dry my lips out at all.

I love the MAC amplified cremes. Matte lipstick makes my lips feel very dry, so I inevitably chew the lipstick off before long. Half n half is an opaque creamy nude color that I wear if I'm doing really dramatic eye makeup or just need to slap some lipstick on without using a mirror. I do have an olive complexion, though, so I don't think this would fare as well for someone with a rosy pink complexion.

I'm always on the lookout for nudeish color lipsticks and as I was browsing online lastnight I came accrosse a review that someone did of their favorite MAC listicks and half -n- half definately stood out to me. I quickly made a trip to the mall this morning and picked it up. Tried it on as soon as I got in the car (I cound't wait untiI got home) lol I absolutely LOVE it!!!
Let me just say, the only color I really liked from MAC is Shy Girl. half -n- half is a little warmer than shy girl. As shy girl tends to be more peachy/coraly. I LOVE them both!!! I am currently using Love Nectar Lustreglass over the two. Looks amazing!! Goes well with my tanned skin. I think it looks best on warmer skin tones. Also, my lips are kind of pigmented and sometimes nudes can look just WEIRD on me, but these two are definately my favs xox
Will definately be repurchasing over & over again

This color looks great without me putting much effort. Im finally slowing down with my makeup spending and realizing what looks good with my skintone, and lip color. A lot of people always base lipsticks and glosses on skintone but the color of ur lips really plays a part also. i have very pigmented, uneven lips and this lipstick really helps make everything one color. I like that there is a touch of pink in this lipstick.
Its an amplified and its really creamy (not like vegas volt, which is also an amplified but it doesnt feel as creamy) This along with Velvet Teddy (matte) and Hug me (lustre) are my hg everyday lipsticks

If there exists a "my lips but better" color, this is it for me. I have weird pigmentation in my lips; they are rather bright if I've been eating or I've just brushed my teeth or something, but they tend to fade out, leaving them for the most part an unflattering pale/ashy color, a mid tone brown around the edges and very pink in the center. I'm always on the hunt for a natural looking lipstick and I've found it in Half N Half. It's a very safe, neutral, understated color that makes me look really put together and fresh faced. I have medium/olive skin and this is a super flattering beige-pink with some brown undertones. I've read some reviews that say it's not pink enough, but on me, I find it to be pretty rosy (both when swatched on the hand and on the lips.) It also requires very little effort to put on since the color is so neutral; I really don't need a mirror at all. This lipstick can be a little drying, but I just put a swipe of lip balm under this lipstick on and my lips feel very comfortable.

Lovely colour, great nude for the warmer skintones. It applies very matte which is good, as it has a lot of staying power. I sometimes apply a gloss over the time, becuase it can look a little dry at time (depending on the weather outside and my lips). I would repurchase this probably, becuase I do love the vanilla scent, the colour and the longjevity of this lipstick (I think it stays on for more than 4 hours - eating and drinking) which is great.

Gear Review
nice, warm boots, a wee bit snug
these boots will keep your feet warm and dry. hiking up a ridge in 3 feet of fresh? sliding and buttering in the spring slush? no snow or water seepage at all. this is a pretty stiff boot, and it will take a few trips to break them in, but once they're dialed in, they'll give you confidence to launch the booter without worrying about landing on the knuckle. I've put a lot of days in wearing these boots, and haven't had any trouble with the speed lacing system snagging or breaking, and it is very convenient being able to get your boots on or adjusted quickly when it's freezing or blowing or it's your turn on the bizzle.

Venetian plaster and vintage linens stand in stark contrast to the glass tiles and white patent leather at Bistro VG. This fusion of classic and contemporary creates an atmosphere that mirrors the cuisine's singularity. The wood-fired pizzas are a hit, but to really branch out, try an entree of Moroccan-spiced duck.
Foie gras, frog legs, and escargot are commonly found on plates in Provence, a southeastern region of France. They're also commonly found at La Petite Maison, an eatery that takes its cues from the region's cuisine. Red velvet booths, candlelight, and an intimate patio contribute to the romantic ambiance.
We take root from an Eastern European creperie chain The 12 Months founded in 2002. We use high-quality ingredients that we wrap in our original crepes like a burrito but they're so much more flavorful and tasty that it adds a new flavor and a twist to any popular filling. Crepes are always fresh and made to order.
When Douceur de France opened in 1999, the bakery's aim was to supply local hotels and restaurants with French pastries made from scratch. But over the years, demand necessitated the opening of a café where quiche and eggs ratatouille are served daily for breakfast.
Truly appreciating food means understanding where it comes from and how it arrived at the restaurant. As a boy growing up in Paris, Chef Remy Kerba learned to value the origin stories behind ingredients. Chef Kerba grew accustomed to joining his father—an impassioned gourmand himself—on trips throughout the city's open-air markets and the vibrant countryside of Normandy of Provence. These childhood memories of meeting farmers and vintners from across France stuck with Chef Kerba and he developed a culinary style that combines a deep respect for tradition with a contemporary spirit of experimentation. This signature style flavors the menu at Le Giverny Bistro, which resides in the Emory Inn and tempts diners with updated, bistro-style French cuisine. Chef Kerba values the pedigrees of his ingredients above all else, and the kitchen seeks out seasonal produce and sustainably raised meats from local farmers and producers whenever possible. The dishes can include subtle New World influences, as in the case of the baked brie with local honey alongside its fresh mint and grilled flatbread. However, entrees such as the Southern-fried chicken breast with mashed potatoes and a lemon-caper butter sauce take an inverted approach and use Old-World flavors to elevate regional American classics. Wireframe models of the Eiffel Tower and the Cliffs of Dover are the only distinctive French accents in Le Giverny Bistro's dining room, which embraces a refined, yet welcoming, aesthetic. Crisp white linens adorn the tables, which are flanked by simple, straight-backed wooden chairs. Cinched drapes allow plenty of light to stream through the wall of windows, and a separate dining area warms guests beside the glow of a stone fireplace. To help contribute to the casual-and-romantic vibe, the bistro hosts live acoustic music on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings.
Owner Arnaud Michel grew up in Montpellier, so it only makes sense that Anis Cafe & Bistro feels like one of that city's casual restaurants. In terms of ambiance, a patio with flickering candles and a wide spread of imported French wines and cheeses do most of the legwork.

2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 2 Dr STD Standard Cab LB HD
ProsVery Fast and Powerful for a truck, can beat most stock sports cars, Good Fuel economy for a truck 18-20mpg, Good handling for a truck, if you want it to roll coal it will leave a wall of a black cloud, Good style in my opinion, Excellent sound, no real blind spots, no heavy repair or maintenance cost other than oil changes $60. Always feels like your in control. Cons2wd, squeeks when hitting bumps due to the traction bars, other drivers trying to challenge you at every light, little too touchy of a throttle when hitting bumps
Heck Of A Truck, Complete Monster That Still Has Potential For More. — Heck of a truck. Will get you where you need to go with a smile on your face. Real head turner not just for looks but the sound will turn heads too. EFI Live is awesome. Wish it was 4wd even though I never really need it. Primary Use: Commuting to work

2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 2 Dr LS 4WD Standard Cab LB HD
ProsFull Power. I can tow just about anything. I don't need a four door pick up but really like the extended cab. Quite comfortable to drive ( even on a long drive ) and incorporates the duel range transmission. ConsCostly to drive (which is why it is my weekend hauler). Had dash cluster problems with this unit and replaced with updated instruments.
For What I Use It For (hauling A Boat,camper, Utility Trailer) Can't Ask For More. — I've owned both the 2500HD and the 1500 series Chevy pickup's and feel the 2500HD's have it all over the rest. This is a nice compromise truck. Lots of power but still a comfortable ride, but if you are going to own one no complaining about economy. Use it for what it was built for and you'll always be happy. Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.) |
2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4 Dr LS Crew Cab SB HD
ProsThe power it provides. ConsThe gas mileage is harsh.
I Call Her The Old Gray Mare!! — This truck is a workhorse. No issues to report. Starts everyday, pulls the 29' camper w/ ease & has plenty of room. It has dual flowmaster pipes and can be heard coming around the corner. Great truck to drive w/ awesome power. Primary Use: Family transportation |
2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4 Dr LT Extended Cab SB HD
Proscomfortable, good running truck Constakes lots of gas
Hard Running Truck — great for long trips, pulls the camper well & hauls things excellent. have used it for lots of hauling and towing and always gotten along well with it the only problem we have had with it is the 4wd not wanting to engage. Primary Use: Family transportation |
2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4 Dr LS 4WD Crew Cab LB HD
ProsBig Strong Diesel Work Truck ConsOff-Road, get stuck in 4wd a lot!!! You have to air down tires, or you really should install a locker
Strong Work Truck — Love this Diesel truck, great on the highway! Does need improvements in stock form, but luckily the aftermarket world has you covered. Be prepared to spend lots of money compared to a little 4 cyl. truck. Also everything is heavy-duty! Beats the gas powered trucks hands down in mileage, power, and engine life! Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.) |
2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4 Dr LT 4WD Crew Cab SB HD
Prosmore than ample power for towing or hauling. fairly quiet interior, as compared to other diesels (i.e. cummins or powerstroke) comfortable to drive ConsDiesels can cost more to maintain if not taken care of properly.
Impressive Beast. — The LLY is a good reliable duramax engine. Not has powerful as a LBZ (2006.5-2007) but decent fuel milage and it doesnt have all the emission crap on it. The LLY was proned to overheating, which is easily fixed by adding a cold air intake, which I did. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4 Dr LS Crew Cab SB HD
ProsThis truck pulls my 5th wheel RV like a dream. ConsThere are a few things Chevy could have done to improve this truck. Like a lift pump at the tank.
Awesome Truck! — I love my Duramax! It's power is remarkable. I'd put it against any other diesel any day. Breaking is also very good with its 4 wheel disk breaks. Handling, they could have tightened up the suspension a bit and taken the bounce out of the front end. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 2 Dr LS Standard Cab LB HD
ProsPositraction rear end ConsGas mileage
2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 2 Dr Work Truck 4WD Standard Cab LB HD
Prosgreat truck to get thing done. I use it for everything from loading a whole pallet of cynder blocks to load of stone,dirt to even taken garbage down. This truck is a great truck to plow with. ConsUnfortunately i think it has just reached its age for things to break. I have recently replaced the starter,alternator,AC got a pin hole in the line,the brake lines went, replaced battery, and both exhaust manifolds rotted out. besides the regular maintance of tires brakes etc. Now that that is all fixed truck purrs like a kitten. No problem with the engine or transmission
Tough Truck — As i put in pros and cons in this review, this truck performs. I have owned chevrolet trucks since 1994 and they seem to only get better with more options. The truck has always completed the task that i put it through. This truck gets only about 10 to 12 mpg city with its 6.0 litre 300 horsepower. for the money this is a great truck. Now that all the odds and ends have broken. I suspect I should be good for another 8 years. Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.) |

Written on: 05/08/2013
I agree DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY . .They take 25 % of your money and don't do anything. I had to keep chasing them about my claim which took ages. I have now received a letter demanding money for a successful claim from back in 2009 which they are saying they haven't been paid for. Im sure I've paid it as I remember them hounding me for payment. They have said I need to prove this, however I don't have a bank statement for that far back. Can they still chase me after 4 years of not hearing from them and also will my bank be able to provide me the information required for free? . .Dont need this stress as I am about to move house and have no money if indeed I do owe them

A Taiwanese actor arrested on drug charges along with the son of Hong Kong film star Jackie Chan was released on Friday after two weeks in detention, amid a broad anti-drug crackdown in China's capital that has ensnared several celebrities.
Kai Ko apologised for smoking marijuana at an afternoon news conference in which he appeared with his parents and agent.
The 23-year-old was arrested on 14 August along with Jaycee Chan, son of the Hong Kong martial arts superstar.
The arrests drew enormous media attention and Ko's news conference came amid speculation about how his career as an entertainer and brand spokesman might be affected.
Police said both actors tested positive for marijuana and admitted using the drug, and that 100 grams (3.53 ounces) of it were taken from Chan's home.
While Ko was given a sentence of 14 days in administrative detention – standard for those caught doing drugs – 31-year-old Jaycee Chan remains in detention and faces a potentially much heftier penalty for having shared drugs with others.

About Me Frequent User
Comments about iRobot Roomba® 650:
It's like having a K-9 helper. I pick up, Roomba vacuums, and I set items back on floor while Roomba vacuums next room. I put off buying one because I thought it wouldn't clean well (a Samoyed and Golden Retriever). Excellent cleaner--my floors shine and my back isn't cramping. I empty the bin several times during vacuum, just in case. The cost is definitely worth not having vacuuming backache.

I like my roomba but there are things you NEED to KNOW before you buy. 1. One thing that is EASY TO FORGET is that YOU have to first pick up EVERYTHING off your floor before you start the vacuum. It Will get stuck on anything that is on the ground so for a mother of 3 kids, this means picking up all the legos because they will disappear in the vacuum. It gets stuck on blankets, cheap rugs that are flimsy and phone charger cords and lamp wires. It also gets stuck behind bedroom doors and it will shut the door itself and get "trapped" in the bedroom. 2. Its fairly loud. So loud that I don't dare put it on when my husband is home. The loud noise bothers him (not me so much) so we try our best to turn it on when we leave the house. Basically, there is no way you can let it run and watch tv at the same time. Sounds similar to a hair dryer running. 3. Best use in my opinion. Picking up dog hair. That is the main reason I bought it and it works amazing for that. A huge help for me. 4. Not so great for…carpet or rugs. It doesn't have the suction power to get your carpet clean like a regular vacuum can.

Love my Roomba 650
By Liz the cat lover
from Midland, Michigan
Love my new Roomba 650. It's great for for cat hair, and so easy to use. When my Roomba 400 series died I got this new model. It is quiet and does a great job. I goes under the bed and over cords without a problem. No work involved except emptying the bin and removing cat hair from the brushes.

This is the best thing ever!
By Holly
from Charleston, SC
I love my roomba and use it every day. We have hardwood floors, and this great little invention helps keep the house clean despite the kids and dog. I love it so much I just bought one for my parents who are already hooked on it. My cousin was visiting them and now he wants one for their house. In my opinion, anyone who buys it won't be disappointed.

love it!

Because I have a respiratory problem I couldn't physically vacuum with a regular vacuum anymore and was paying someone to do this every week! At my sons urging I got a Roomba and love it! All I have to do is push a button and in vacuums for me! It has more than paid for itself!

We call our maid Ruby!

It seems to have lots of power but sometimes kicks out dirt. I thought it would go to its dock when needing charge but doesn't seem to.
